THE APPEAL. By JAS. P. SAWTEIX. CUTHBERT; FRIDAY, July 12, 1872. Democratic ifledin^ By authority vested in the Exec utive Committee a public meeting of the democratic party of Randolph County, is called,-to assemble in Cuthbert, Ga , at eleven o’clock, A. M. f Saturday, the 13th inst., for the purpose of selecting delegates to rep resent said county, in the State Con vention called to meet in Atlanta, on the 24th of this month. W. D. KIDDOO, Chairman, Executive Committee of Randolph County. New Paper.— The “Enterprise" fs the name of anew paper to be is sued soon at Newton, Baker Coun ty, Georgia. Next. A. M. Speights, of the Griffin Daily Netvs, has. bought Mr. 'S. W. Mangham’s interest in the Middle Georgian. The Middle Georgian and Daily News will, in the future, be published by Speights & Hunt. One dollar will pay for the Ar l'EAttho balance of the year. Toomrs and Brown.— Since the publication of Joe Brown’s letter, referred to in our last, G en. Toombs has been confined at homo by sick ness. He telegraphs to Atlanta, however, that lie will soon be up again, and will “go for Josey” with a vengeance. Brown is calm and determined, and expresses his willingness and readiness, to accom modate him in airy way indicated. Cnovcriioi* Smith ami Mr. James. Editors Constitution: The'Griffin Nows, and other papers have" openly charged Colonel P. W. Alex ander with the authorship of the letters to the Savannah News signed “Ogecchce."’ This impression very generally*prevails, and Col. Alex ander has not denied it that we know of. Now, as he is Gov. Smith’s inti mate friend uud confidential ad viser, the public very reasonably conclude that the tenor and sub stance of those letters are known and approved by Gov. Smith. How can it be otherwise ? Who can doubt that if Col. P. W. Alexander •writes those letters Gov. James M. Smith knows it and sanctions it? We have, therefore, the pitablc spectacle of a Governor of Georgia descending from the high dignity of his position to spatter mud upon a politieial opponent. Such a course is altogether new to the people of Georgia, and it will receive, as it justly merits, their stern rebuke and condemnation. Oconiee. Send one dollar and get the Ap peal through the campaign. Died. —We are pained to learn of the death of Rev. Charles R; Jew ett, of the Georgia which transpired in Bibb county on Wednesday last. Ilis remains will be buried in Fort Valley to day. __ “ Mighty Right.”- —The editor of the Sumter Republican says from what he can learn in his trav els, the James sensation is not to be sneezed at. “As James was doubly paid for. bis mansion, when the same was sold to the State for the modest lit tle sum of one hundred thousand dollars, wB can’t imagine why lie should now want to have the use of it for four years, free of rent.”— Lumpkin Imdependent. Why did not the Independent tell how James sold his residence to the State. Does it not know that’tke price paid was as agreed up on by commissio'ners appraising it, and that James put any price upon it at all? And that the amount received by James was only about seventy-five thousand dollars? Af ter the election in November he will occupy the mansion, “ freo of rent” in accordance with the icish es of the people, which will enable our friend* to “ see how it is done themselves.” Send one dollar and get the Ap peal through the campaign. The Griffin News has every rea son to believe that “ Ogechee,” the Atlanta correspondent of the Sa vannah News, is I*. W. Alexander, Esq., a fact that should be borne in mind while reading said letters. That is a “ big wheel” within a very small one, and will completely de stroy the force of his assaults upon everybody and everything that is not Smithish. Respited.—Spann was not hung last Friday in Webster county, as intimated in our last. Gov. Smith telegraphed the evening previous postponing the execution until Fri day, the 26th inst. Our Lumpkin brethren will have an-excuse for suspending another week, to enable all bands “ to go to the show.” j The Baltimore Conven tion. Horace Greeley Nominated, The National Democrati cconven tion assembled in Baltimore on" the. 9th inst., and was called to order by August Belmont, in a very appro priate, enthusiatie and patriotic ad dress, in which he sought to im press upon the minds' of delegates the importance of a united effort to throw off the yoke of military rule and oppression to which the nation had been subjected for the past four years. At the conclusion of Ids remarks lit put in nommation Jefferson Ran dolph, of Va., as temporary chair man of the Convention, which was unanimomdy adopted by acclamation when Mr. Randolph was conducted to the chair, amid great enthusiasm while the band played “Dixie.” In a few brief remarks the Chair man said that he remembered viv idly every Presidential contest from the first election of Jefferson, and that none were fraught with more vital and important issues than the campaign now before him. After the conclusion of Randolph’s remarks, and the passing of a few preliminary resolutions, the conven tion adjoutned%intil -lo’clock in the afternoon. After the adjournment of the morning session, and before the per manent organization of die meet ing, about one hundred “Bourbons” held a meting in the Maryland In stitute building, and there appoint ed committees an passed resolutions preparatory to bolting, in -case the Cincinnati platform and nomina tion.should be ratified. At 4 P. M., the Convention called to order, J. R. Doolittle, ex Senator from Wisconsin, was elected perma nent chairman, and on being conduc ted to theCliai'V made a speech calm ly and dispassionately reviewing the political situation, showing to what end the country tending and Would assuredly reach under the rule and reign of the Radical party now in . power. He, in pride and faith pointed to the coming contest as the dawn of a return’.to the prin ciples of Constitutional Government, and the restoration and protection of the rights and property of the citizens of the whole country. He showed the cause of the split in the party in power, its progress, and in fluence, and as the representatives of these two parties were known, it was a question for that assembly to determine whether their influence, and support should be united with the new party upon, now issues, and Ly»their united efforts drive the Itadical party from power, or wheth er they should enter the contest sin gle-handed, and seek to elect anoth er. Ilis remarks wero frequently cheered, while great pntliusiasm pervaded the assembly. SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS. At 10 o’clock ou Wednesday mor ning the Convention was called to or der by the Chairman, when the com mittee-on resolutions, through its chairman, reported the adoption of the Cincinnati platform. This was met with objections from the Geor gia, Delaware, Mississippi and Ore gon delegations, but upon the vote being taken w r as adopted by a vote of 553 yeas to 170 nays. The next business id order being the nomination of a candidate, the name of Horace Greeley was pre sented, and the roll called when the vote stood : For Greeley, 686 ; Jas. A. Bayard 15 ; J. C. Black 21; Groesbeek 2. After the announcement of the Chair, it was moved that Greeley’s nomination be made unanimous, which was received with enthusiasm —only two or three dissenting voices Brown then received the nomina tion for Vice President. This concluded the duties of the National convention, the results of which wo hope to see work out for the nation, peace, prosperity and happiness, to every section and race. The nomination is received with enthusiasm throughout the United States. CffEAP For .one dollar you-can get the Appeal the balance of the year. According to the Griffin Star, General Toombs, years before the war, bought 100,000 acres of West ern land which cost him only $5,000 and ho now has $25,000 yearly in come from the procoeds of that pur chase. - The Couoeed Troops Preparing .to Fight. — Savannah, Ga., July 7. —Gov, Smith lias issued orders to a Negro Military organization in this city, known as the Lincoln Union Guards, to hold an election for commissioned officers. This is the first instance of the kind in the State. One dollar will pay for the Ap peal the balance of the year. Tlj,e Constitution says it is whis pered that several Atlanta ladies threaten to sue for divorce because their husbands.go to bed first. The Itos*. .1 no. 15. James. The Rome Commercial, after publishing Mr. James’ announce ment letter, says ; It will be seen from the above that Mr. James is squarely before the people. Air. James, is a respecta ble man, is. a candidate for a respec table office, and his claims deserve respectable attention. The pink-fingered Reese, who so daintily handles the pen that makes lively the columns of the Telegraph and Messenger, will find-it a poor business laughing in contempt at the earnest claims of Mr. James. — The man who has pushed through what Mr. John 11. James has, has more “gum” in him than be whisk ered Reese probably dreams of. A self-made man, when he iff made well , is a right enormous produc tion. , Mr. James certainly strikes the right key in his letter-of candidacy, and whether lie gets a considerable support or not, is entitled to the re-, speetful consideration of all interes ted in thamatter. lie is,' in our opinion, a quick morning horse, with. uncommon fathom : long legs,-broad shoulder blades, and a heap of “stay” in him. In speaking of the slurs and un generous assaults made by the sup- the Smith faction, the Al bany News says: It is folly to underrate the strength of a man like Air. James, and dan gerous to deride him as ignorant and of humble origin. It is charged that Ins education was neglected and that he is not fit to occupy the exalted station to which he aspires. Whatever may be said of him, he has been the friend of the poor, has been successful in business, has ac cumulated a large fortune, has wron ged nobody, has steadily maintain ed his respect for and kindness to the common people, has attended to his own-business, kept out of poli ties and made no enemies. From our independent standpoint, it is difficult to prophecy results. The Convention comes on too early lor the concentration and organiza tion of" the elements opposed to Gov.. Smith,—one object the committee may lyive had in view in calling the Convention in such indecent haste, but if it shall leak- out that a- “snap judgement’’ was contemplated, by the controlling vdte of the commit tee in the call, we venture the prc : diction that a son of Chatham, or the self made favorite of Fulton will make a race that will astonish the over confident friends of Gover nor Smith. It is all bosh to talk about Mr. Jatnesg immodesty, audacity and in capacity—men of meaner mould, lower instincts and less capacity than he have aspired and- won in Georgia, under the rule of her own people. Mr. James has as .much right to ask for the nomination as any he, she or it in the State, and the tornado of swell-headism and cod fish pretensions leveled at him is in bad taste, to say tlio least of it. " . The Atlanta Whig very pointedly remarks: Mr. James represents the -com mercial and business interests of the State, and outside the profes sional politicians and place-hunters is a very strong man with the peo ple. lie is a self made man, a na tive of Georgia, stands well with all classes, and possesses that finan cial ability and tact now so much needed in the Executive Chair. Wo predict that he will give the present incumbent more trouble than any other Democratic cadidate now in the field ; and if the masses of his party are allowed to speak, or in other words, if the Nominating Convention is not manipulated by Smith’s office holders, -and those who are the-recipients of lys patron age, Air. James will be the nomi nee. The Atlanta correspondent of the Macon Enterprise, of the 6th says of Mr. James’ prospects and position: A few weeks ago the policy of the papers was to ridicule Mr. James’ candidature for Governor.— They now see it in a different light and those who were the readiest to make a jest of it, now have their eyes openei widest of any. They have found that the opposition pre sented by him is by no means a mat ter of ridicule. He comes before the'pcoplc in an honest and manly way. * He has sought no advantage by illegitimate means. llc_ makes an open announcement of his candi dature, and states frankly his posi tion upon our State affairs. On na tional issues he has no position .to define. Very few men have; nor is it necessary they should have as far as regards our State campaign.— Our present Governor, who is un derstood to.be Mr. James’ most for midable opponent, has not declared his position yet. Ilis bosom friends hardly know whether he. is for Gree ley, pr whether he is a “Bourbon.” It is not necessary that such a decla ration should be made, as it does not enter into the gubernatorial* campaign. l The solution of the whole matter is that Mr. James is acquiring a de gree of strength that is astonishing these old wire-pullers who are ac customed to come up to State Con ventions With everything cut and dried, and with the nominee conve niently .“tied out.” They do not precisely understand .the situation, and that is why such a clattering is being' raised. But I can help them a little to ward understanding the situation, by saying that Mr. James is not the politician’s candidate, but the peo ple’s candidate. He is strong with the masses now, and is growing stronger every day ; and he will be very strong Avhen- the Convention meets here on the 24th of July.— Fulton county will send up James-’ delegates straight out. The people here know him and are not afraid to trust him. They know his honor and are willing to risk it to grace the highest office in tlie State. Andrew Female College, Cuthbert, Cia. In bidding adieu to the pursuits and pleasures of his first scholastic year, the President of Andrew Fe male College.would render unfeign ed thanks to patrons arid friends for their confidence, sympathy, and generous support. To the citizens of Cuthbert he is under many and lasting obligations for the unprece dented unanimity with which they have rallied to his side. To the local patronage he tenders a polite bow. And to those, who, in the exercise of legitimate rights, have seen proper to bestow their favors on others equally needy and de serving, he sends his compliments and sincere good will. In view of the condition, suc cess, and prospects of the College, it will not be amiss to remember the Giver of every perfect gift— nor will it be improper to send out congratulations to the surrounding country, Southwest Ga., East Ala., and Florida. From these sources Andrew is receiving charming girls —contributions that will recognize the plastic touch of her advanced curriculum, expand into cultivated womanhood,.and return to beautify and bless their respective homes. Henceforth the progress of the College is onward and upward.— Otir recent Examination and Coni' rnencemerit exercises, meriting and receiving almost universal commen dation, come over us like the breath of ihspiration, and fire our souls for fresh aggression and grand er achievements. The Board of Trustees, composed of such men as Anthony, Burke, Cook, Fielder, McDonald, Mercer, and. others of equal dignity and worth, cheerfully responded to the call of the President. Their pres ence and judicious action not only furnished ample evidence of in creasing attachment . but thrilled our hearts with the hope, that, at no distant day, a lice Agent from the South Georgia Conference would canvass the country and cause the glory of the latter 'College Build ing to exceed that of the former. Satisfied with the Faculty and College, our girls are now enjoying the society of loved ones. At home • they will represent this as a Metho dist College—one that cherishes the spirit of prayer and' liberality—one that stresses Christ instead of creeds —one in which the respective claims of different communions aie never discussed or urged by Presi dent or Professors—one in which pupils substitute study for copten tions about orthodoxy—and one in which every girl is allowed to ad here to the faitli of her Father, and none dare to molest or make her afiaid. If false impressions, have been made, these representatives from all the churches will correct them. Reaction will set in; and the opening of- the next Term will find our former pupils present and reinforced by many others, influ enced not by rumor, conjecture or contrivance, but by the unvarnished story of those whose sojourn with us prepared them to testify that the President and Professors of An drew Female are too honest, too gentlemanly, to invest their strength, and a impil's time, in effort's to proselyte a child. By way of perfecting our plans and placing the College beyond the possibility of financial embarrass ment, some changes have been made. For the next scholastic year, begin ning September 16th., Rev. J. B. McGehee, A. H. Flewellen, AI. A. McNulty, Mrs. A. 11. Flewellen aqd Airs. E. B. Russell will give their undivided attention to the in terests of the Institution. The President will take charge of all the business, and Airs. J. B. Mc- Gehee will superintend--the house hold affairs, looking well to the food and raiment, health and happiness of the large and interesting family. In parting with Alisses Price and Aloore, Airs. DeJarnette and Airs. Tison, I cannot withhold this pub lic testimonial to their efficiency, fidelity and moral worth. Bearing with them kindest feelings, toward the Institution, qualified for almost any station in life, they live in* our hearts, and will ever be welcomed to these classic walks. With our Financial Agent we with out a sigh. Ilis' politeness, pru dence, and attention ‘to business have won* the admiration and es teem of all. Both a gentleman.—■ and a genius. J. C. Irvine ses a high order of business talents and should nrufke his mark in the world. As some are surprised at College Rates (notwithstanding ours are only S3O, $45, and S6O per annum) and the seeming poverty of College Professors, I will volunteer a few facts that may help to explain the profound mystery. In Andrew' Female .College any clergyman, of any persuasion, engaged in the regular work of the ministry," may educate daughters free of charge.— Here, no widow pays full Tuition. Here, deduction is made for persons in straitened circumstances. Here are several "beneficiaries. In fine, no girl, is turned away from An- j drew Female College because some providential "dispensation leaves her unable to pay Tuition $ and, onee with us, all reeelre the same, attention—none are petted for the sake of the purse—none are pierced by the taunts of poverty. - These facts ore mentioned, (and they are literally true,) not to parade]our con tributions, but merely to intimate, that, a College like ours, instead of being regarded as a synonym of extravagance ami bad management, or viewed as a monied monopoly or crying evil, is actually doing more "for Cuthbert and the surrounding country than any public enterprise in Southwest Ga. In point of ben efactions it is second to none save the-church of Christ—and that pir ganization docs not dispense its blessings more cheerfully. To help those who have Gospel or provi dential claims upon us -.is no task, no charity — but a duty and luxury. Will the citizens of Cuth bert and Southwest Ga., look these facts full in the face? Will they, according to .their ability, aid us to perpetuate these blessings ? AVill they consult these and their oicn interests, and, imitating the magna nimity of Macon and other cities devise liberal things and do some thing worthy of. the College 'and cause? Who will respond by words of encouragement? by pray er ? by working for the College ? h\ contributions ? Who will speak to the President, or through the Appeal ? Influeilced by kindest, considera tions we have extended indulgence to a few friends, who were unable, at the time,.to respond to our terms. We have no'regrets. At present money is very scarce—scarce with them, and scarce with'us: But the business of a College should be done in a business-like manner— and, if our friends arc unable to pay, even a part, they should come forward at this the dose ol" the scho lastic year, and effect a settlement. Such a course will evidence appre ciation — establish confidence, and furnish a solid basis for future ope rations. Such, a course, viewed in the light of reason and right, will, we are sure, commend itself to the judgement of all. Citizens of Cuthbert and South west Ga ! We arc no strangers. Born in Georgia, educated at Jier University, our riper years have been consecrated to the mental and jno.ral aggrandizement of the grand old State —and now, our lot, uud that of R large family, has been cast with you. " From you we have received many substantial tokens of kindness —and for all we thanJ: you We have had some success—but this does not sutlice. Placed in this position at the in stance of such men as Anthony, Key, Burke and Bishop .Pierce— plaeed here by the South Georgia Conference—placed here, not by •choice, but by the persuasion of a larger sphere of usefulness—placed here by providence, I remain at my post actuated by no selfish consid eration, but an ardent, quenchless desire to make Andrew Female College- famous for sanctified schol arship, and present hep to succeed ing generations adorned with peer less beauty and majesty. Such is our aim. With God’s blessing and yonr aid “ there is no such, word ‘as fail.” We have been candid. The pub lic may, can, should read us. Du plicity, especially in those ever in contact with youth, is a sin against God, and a curse to childhood. In a Teacher-its breath is more cruel than the edict of Her od, and its legitimate lamentations, louder than those resounding through Ramah. As President we shall strive to maintain the dignity of a scholar and Christian gentle man. Ablioring flattery, selfish ness, littleness —honesty, applica tion, liberality and love shall swell our hearts, sit in queenly beauty on our lips, preside over every de partment, and pioneer our pilgrim age till, faithful to its high behest, the'angdl hand lead Andrew to the land of cherished hopes,' and the angel voice whispers a pleasant adieu. Respectfully, J. B. AlcGeiiee. . Ong dollar will pay for the Ap peal the balance of the year. - * A Radical Prophesy.— ln his Indianapolis- speech, Air. Alorton expressed the opinion that Horace Greeley, if*elected, would infallibly turn Democrat, and that Iris Liber-’ al Republican supporters would be “ dissolved in Democracy like flies in vinegar.” Death from a Dog Scratch. — We heard yesterday on the street that a gentleman employed as an overseer on a river plantation, died from the above effuse. It seems he was playing with a favorite dog, when the dog. playfully- reared against him, and his claws scratch ed his arm.- lie was taken violent ly ill, and died from the effects short ly afterwards. This certainty is a singular case, and should be investi gated by the medical fraternity.— Columbus Sun s th. •Cheap Reading.— For one dol lar you can get the Appeal the bal ance of the year.
